Some of my favorites are How to Marry a Millionaire, Let's Make Love, Niagra, That Touch of Mink, Pillow Talk, African Queen, Desk Set, Charade, Funny Face, and Roman Holiday.

I love old movies. I think that all of my DVDs that are not disaster movies or 007 are classics.

Ooh, and The Glass Bottom Boat. I love Doris Day. She is just so much fun. There is also one that I can never remember the title of, that is a total Charade/60s spy movie riff where she is involved in an espionage plot to steal hairspray. The wardrobe is to die for.

A bit later, but I also love me some Steve McQueen.

I haven't had time to watch it this semester, but sometimes I like to browse their schedule and see what's good. It's a great way to expose yourself to classic movies fo sho.

We love TCM; I second the recommendation to just surf and check things out as they interest you. (Talking of classic films, queenofpainting, I've been meaning to compliment you on your avatar; Joan and I go way back!)

I honestly never thought I could be so moved by pure imagery in a silent movie. Boy, was I dumb. And thanks!

Anything with Danny Kaye, especially The Secret Life of Walter Mitty or A Song Is Born (not to be confused with A Star Is Born, though that's alright). I'll also second the Cary Grant recommendation, especially The Philadelphia Story or His Girl Friday.

Okay, I don't want to add more to the list, because you have many to choose from, so here are my favorites (these have all already been mentioned):

You Can't Take it With You. (Young Jimmy Stewart!)Double Indemnity. (I also like almost anything with Barbara Stanwyck)Casablanca. (Fo' sho)Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. (So sexy! Also, if you like Tennessee Williams, Steetcar Named Desire.)Sullivan's Travels.Philadelphia Story.His Girl Friday.Vertigo. (My favorite of Hitchcock's movies)Rear Window. (Or is this my favorite Hitchcock?)

I have to add one that hasn't been mentioned yet:City Lights. (Amazing. I cry every time.)

If you like Singing in the Rain try Funny Face. Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. She's an empathicalist and he a fashion photographer, swoon. Perfect songs, perfect locations, enough funny bits and some great dancing including a 3-4 minute scene where he pretends he is a matador with his cape.

I would say that these are my favorite classic Hollywood movies (including super popular ones): The Wizard of Oz, Sunset Blvd, The Apartment, Psycho, To Kill a Mockingbird, Rear Window, Some Like It Hot, All About Eve, Rope, 12 Angry Men, Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, Strangers on a Train, It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby, Rebel without a Cause, A Streetcar Named Desire, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Double Indemnity, Lifeboat, and so on. I haven't seen that many as of now. We should have a foreign film discussion thread (it's pretty general, but it would be a lot simpler than creating several different threads).

Great lists! TCM is my favorite movie channel. Sunday Night Silents was a great introduction to the art of silent movies. The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse with Valentino is a winner. Camille with Valentino and Nazimova, and Valentino in The Eagle. Rudy!
